Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a worsening trend in mechanical advisories despite passing its most recent test on 27 February 2026. While the 2023 failure for a major exhaust leak was resolved, the 2026 record introduces new concerns regarding an oil leak and a suspension arm ball joint with slight play. The frequency of advisories related to tyres, suspension components, and braking systems suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, multiple mechanical issues are accumulating. The vehicle has covered 220,813 miles over its 16-year lifespan, averaging approximately 13,801 miles per year. This high annual mileage indicates heavy usage, which correlates with the recurring wear seen in the MOT history. The records show consistent testing, with annual inspections occurring in November 2022, November 2023, March 2025, and February 2026. This regular testing pattern provides a continuous view of the vehicle's degradation, particularly concerning consumable parts and suspension integrity. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and steering components. The 2026 test flagged a ball joint with play and corroded rear coil springs, following a 2025 advisory regarding worn axle swivel pins and bushes. These recurring issues in the axle and suspension assembly suggest significant wear. The tester also noted a distorted nearside rear road wheel in 2025, which warrants scrutiny to check for further wheel or hub damage. Braking and tyre maintenance also require close attention. The 2023 record highlighted imbalanced rear brakes and multiple tyres worn to the legal limit, while the 2025 test noted low brake fluid levels. The most recent 2026 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge suggests ongoing alignment or wear issues. Finally, the reported oil leak in the 2026 test necessitates a thorough check of the engine and seals to determine the source and potential severity of the leak. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
